Cameo Creations Challenge - Mother's Day

Hello lovely ladies, as promised, today I will be showing you my Mother's Day project for the Cameo Creations Challenge. I decided to do a stair step fold for my card using my cameo. Also, the borders, doily and matting circles were done with my cameo. I made a quick pnc for the sentiment because I didn't find anything in Spanish at the store and this card is going all the way to Peru to my Mom.

For this challenge we had to make a Mother's Day card using ribbon. Here is mt project:

Side view:

I have seen cards embellished with seam binding and I love the look! I wanted to give it a try and make my own and after looking for snug hug all over town without luck, I finally gave up and ordered online and paid the dreaded shipping fees, ha! Dying my seam binding was so easy! I could have my 6 year old do it for me too. All I did was spray some Glimmer Mist on my slightly damp seam binding, let it dry completely and use. I tried also dyeing my ribbon with cat's eye stamp, I did not like the finished look. It is not shiny like the glimmer mist and since I still have lots of it, that's what I will be using from now on.

Take a loot to my materials:

And this is what they look like after drying. See the difference between the glimmer mist and the ink?

That's all I have for today, I hope you can play with us. You have two weeks to enter the Cameo Creations Challenge, remember that this time we have to make a Mother's Day Card using ribbon, the prize is a $15 gift card to Scraptastical Kreations. So easy!
